Small Site Page Changes - (Typos, Poor Wording, Inaccuracies, Etc.)

It isn't exactly a small change but the spikes entry for Gen 2 states that spikes can be layered while that is simply not true. That started in Gen 3. This might explain why I see people on Showdown in Gen 2 trying to layer spikes.

I was searching for the moves that get effected bij the ability mega laucher and at the description of the ability these moves weren't mentioned.

Is it possible that the moves that mega launcher is effected by can be added to this page?

Apparently these are the moves (found on bulbapedia)

There are a few problems with Miraidon's AG analysis.
  1. The third set is labeled as Agility, but the write-up's opening sentence refers to it as Life Orb. Every other mention of the set name suggests it's supposed to be Agility.
  2. The Choice Specs and Choice Scarf sets have no write-ups at all. Technically not a small issue but I couldn't find another thread to post this in. The only conclusion I could come to is that the most recent version of the write-ups for those sets were originally written by a banned user and thus redacted without replacement, especially since I could not find current WIPs when searching.
  3. Overheat is mentioned in Other Options despite being part of several sets with no slashes, contradicting how the OO section labels the move as niche.

I didn't contribute to the C&C process for this set analysis, but I can provide my reasoning on why the first sentence might be written this way.

For reference, here's the Grammar-Prose check for this analysis. The GP checker's additions are in blue, while the removals are in red.
Life Orb Miraidon is a potent setup sweeper, leveraging its great base 135 Special Attack stat paired with Life Orb and Hadron Engine power to unleash incredible damage. Agility allows Miraidon to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame.

Before the GP checker's changes were implemented, the first sentence was written as:
Miraidon is a potent setup sweeper, leveraging its great base 135 Special Attack stat paired with Life Orb and Hadron Engine to unleash incredible damage.

Here, the original sentence is a bit lengthy because it lists info that can be easily looked up to describe Miraidon's raw strength, so I think the GP checker decided to condense the part about Miraidon's Special Attack and ability into "power" for brevity and move "Life Orb" in front of "Miraidon", since it does use LO for this set. Even if you don't consider this acceptable for a write-up, you have to take into account that this sentence is immediately followed by one that goes over the purpose of the set's namesake; with that in mind, the write-up is probably intended for readers to read the first two sentences together to understand this set's purpose as a powerful and fast setup sweeper.
 
Wind Rider and Wind Power both contain the same sentence:

...or when Tailwind begins on this Pokemon's side.

However, Wind Rider activates and gives the Attack boost when switching in to user-side Tailwind as well. This effect is not shared with Wind Power. As such, Wind Rider should have its description amended accordingly.
